Furlough/ Unemployment-effect on Social Security
Hi Terry. My husband, who will be eligible to collect full Social Security next April, has been furloughed from his employer of 35 years (hopefully for only 6 months). How will unemployment affect his Social Security benefits?
Terry Says
He can still collect unemployment if he qualifies. Social security does not impact unemployment benefits —
And by next April, he will have run out of unemployment benefits!
BUT if he had a pension from the company he left, it would impact unemployment benefits.
